Special features of conduction of the alkali- silicate glass

An analysis of a large number of experimental data of various authors on the electrical conductivity of alkali-silicate glasses with different contents of alkali oxide has been carried out. It was found that for non-liquid glasses, the dependence of the electrical conductivity on the alkali oxide content is best expressed through its dependence on the average distance between alkali cations.
